The Wharfedale Foundation is a Trust that has its roots in the Christian tradition. We recognise a common practical vision of a better world with those of other faith traditions and none. We therefore support initiatives that bring people together to gain understanding of other faiths and cultures and to work in partnership to improve the neighbourhoods in which they live. We aim to fund projects that address the divisions in our society by developing greater understanding of social justice and diversity. Although we may award up to £5,000 this is exceptional, the typical grant given is normally around £2,000-£3,000.

Small Grants Programme – prospective applicants seeking small grants of up to £500 should talk to us about our new one stage process (nb. organisations applying would normally have an income of less than £50,000)

We fund projects:

• that focus on neighbourhoods and communities of interest,
• wher​e people are developing lasting relationships at a grassroots level,
• with the potential for positive, longer term change,
• that are willing to try out new ways of working that others can learn from,
• promoting the inclusion of people experiencing the most social and economic hardship,
• that enable people to be agents of change in their own lives and communities,
